Service Locations Map
This example demonstrates an interactive map widget using Leaflet.js to display service locations with popups, navigation, and real-time updates.
Key Features
Interactive Leaflet.js map with zoom and pan controls
Custom markers for each service location
Information popups with service details and images
Navigation integration to service detail screens
Automatic map bounds fitting all service locations
Real-time updates when service data changes
Responsive design that works on all devices
Error handling with user-friendly messages
Use Cases
Perfect for applications requiring:
Service location directories and finders
Store locators and branch finders
Event venue mapping
Real estate property maps
Delivery service coverage areas
Field service management
Tourism and travel guides
Implementation Overview
This widget uses the Other Tables Data pattern, fetching data from a "Service Locations" or "Services" datatable. Key implementation features:
Leaflet.js integration for professional mapping
GeoJSON coordinate handling for location data
Popup content generation with images and details
Automatic map bounds calculation
Real-time data synchronization

</html>Key Concepts
Leaflet.js Map Integration
Professional Mapping: Uses industry-standard Leaflet.js for reliable map functionality
Custom Markers: Places markers at service locations with tooltips
Interactive Popups: Rich popups with images, descriptions, and action buttons
Map Controls: Zoom controls and pan functionality built-in
Location Data Handling
GeoJSON Support: Handles standard GeoJSON coordinate format [longitude, latitude]
Data Validation: Validates coordinates to ensure they're within valid ranges
Error Handling: Graceful handling of invalid or missing location data
Flexible Data Sources: Works with "Service Locations" or "Services" tables
Advanced Map Features
Auto-fitting Bounds: Automatically zooms to show all service locations
Responsive Popups: Popups adapt to mobile and desktop layouts
Navigation Integration: Popup buttons navigate to service detail screens
Real-time Updates: Map updates immediately when service data changes
User Experience
Loading States: Clear loading indicators while data is fetched
Error Messages: User-friendly error messages for various failure scenarios
Mobile Optimization: Touch-friendly controls and responsive design
Accessibility: ARIA labels and keyboard navigation support
This map widget demonstrates how code widgets can integrate sophisticated mapping libraries to create professional location-based applications with rich interactivity and real-time data updates.
